Solwata: An Immersive Documentary

A new immersive documentary spotlighting the climate crisis in the Pacific nation of Solomon Islands premiered at the Venice International Film Festival (September 2–12). The 25-minute immersive documentary tells the story of the island communities of Walande, Ngongosila, and Kwai in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, as they confront the difficult questions of whether and how to relocate their homes and lives to the mainland because of devastating tides and rising sea levels.
